If you could meet one person from the past or present, who would it be and why? 
Dolly Parton, She's just such an inspiration to me and I respect her & her beliefs!  I'd also like to meet Ray Charles because he had such a love and passion for music.

What has been your most exciting moment on the road?
It was hilarious watching Mom trip over cords and fall off the stage during our set.

 
What has been your most embarrassing moment on the road? 
We were singing in this little coffee shop in Maryland, and it was packed out! Mom was introducing dad, and we started singing "I'm Gonna Rise".
Well, I was standing on the end, (I usually stand in the middle) and when me, Mom, and Vic went to sing our "oooo's", I had my mic behind my back and sang into my fist instead of the mic.  I then realized I didn't use my mic and started laughing at myself.  Mom leaned over and said, "You gonna use your mic this time?" ha.  Then, I was cracking up the entire song wondering if anyone saw me.

What has been your most rewarding moment on the road?
Seeing lives Saved & changed, People renewing their faith, Hearts being mended!
